Hi guys, Your vlog title was a little bit worrying, "No more cruising" What's that all about? Getting us all upset that there would be no more vlogs from you guys 😰 and no more cruising for you 🥴 Hope Ripple doesn't cost too much to repair, and hopefully a couple of days in the marina will give you both time to re-charge your own batteries as well👍wishing you all the best for 2025. You can't stop cruising. With your vlogs, we get to see the rough side of canal life as well as the good side, you two are so down to earth. We look forward to catching up with you every week. 🙂🙂

HI. Nice to see you today as we cruised back into Braunston as you walked the dogs. Sorry we forgot your name as we passed you. We made it into the marina but it was still a little bit iced up in here. See you if we are walking around the village 😀 Phil & Marianne (Narrowboat Our Time)

How did I never notice what a handsome boat you have? It looks freshly painted. You must be so proud of it. Outstanding! Kev, I’m going to sound like a “mother hen” but wear a warm winter hat please. Emma I’m glad you have more sense. Okay, I should have waited before I made the hat comment. I love your elf hat Kev. Glad to see you wearing it. Mark was amazing to help you so quickly. Glad your hand is coming along so well Emma. Happy New Year.

Firstly, Merry Christmas to you two and the dogs. Does the propeller and prop have a special Magnet for all the dross from the canal, it sure appears so. All that water and yet that blue tarp thing finds it. Very calm in the getting held up by the fallen tree, I'd be doing cartwheels in annoyance, especially if I was trying to get somewhere. It looks a bit tatters out there, You have my respect for doing what you do, working as well, that would do me in having to work. Have a good one!
